Lyrics

Verse

Smoke rising thin off the dying wood

Your shadow long where the embers stood

Dust on your ankles, dust on mine

Drum in the distance keeping time

Ten steps back where the circle grew

Now three steps left between me and you

Pre-Chorus

Feel the horizon burning slow

Nowhere left for the night to go

Every log drum pulls you in

Closer than the wind on skin

Chorus

Firelit horizon, keep moving close

Nothing but rhythm, nothing but us

Firelit horizon, keep moving close

Let the drum close the space we don't discuss

Keep moving close

Verse

Bare feet pressing warm into sand

Your palm finds the curve of my hand

Sparks lift up when the driftwood cracks

Shoulders leaning, nothing held back

Circle tightens with the bassline's pull

No more distance left to fill

Pre-Chorus

Feel the horizon burning slow

Nowhere left for the night to go

Every log drum pulls you in

Closer than the wind on skin

Chorus

Firelit horizon, keep moving close

Nothing but rhythm, nothing but us

Firelit horizon, keep moving close

Let the drum close the space we don't discuss

Keep moving close

Bridge

Forget the miles we walked to get here

Forget the words we couldn't make clear

Ash on our skin, the flame turned low

This is the only language we know

No talking now, just heartbeat and heat

Just the fire and the ground beneath our feet

Chorus

Firelit horizon, keep moving close

Nothing but rhythm, nothing but us

Firelit horizon, keep moving close

Let the drum close the space we don't discuss

Keep moving close
